Backtesting start at a specific time.
06 Feb 2018, 13:33
Hello everyone,
It may be a result of my small experience with cTrader/cAlgo/C# but I failed to backtest my 'hello world' bot at a specific time.
From what I understand I can only select a date but not the exact time at which OnStart() will be fired.
What is the right way to achieve this? Currently I move my bot logic to OnBar() where if/else conditions check whether the time is right to start and go one with the code.
Best,
Kuba

Hi kuba.pod@gmail.com,
Thanks for posting in our forum. Currently there is no way to set a starting time for a cBot. Therefore, I think that your solution is the way to solve this issue. You can set the starting time as a parameter of the cBot and then make the relevant checks in the code.
Best Regards,
